HUTCHINSON, Kan. – A 33-year-old man facing some serious charges was denied a bond reduction when he appeared for the formal reading of charges Friday.

Jeremy Grissom is now charged with felony flee and elude, two counts of endangering a child, possession of marijuana and driving while suspended. During the hearing, he requested a reduction of bond, but the state argued against it noting that if convicted of the first three charges, it would be presumptive prison. Magistrate Judge Cheryl Allen agreed and denied the request leaving the bond at $7,250.

It started as a mere traffic stop, but led to a brief chase on Dec. 1. A Hutchinson Police officer spotted a car in the 100 block of East 4th with passengers not wearing seatbelts. The officer attempted to stop the vehicle and the car failed to stop. It proceeded to the 200 block of East 10th, where Grissom allegedly ran from the officers. He was eventually captured. Inside the vehicle they allegedly found a marijuana pipe and a lock box with around six grams of marijuana. There was apparently two children in the vehicle at the time of all this.

Grissom is no stranger to law enforcement with past convictions for aggravated assault, robbery, indecent solicitation with a child, flee and elude and operation of vehicle that was not registered.

His case now moves to a waiver-status docket.
